How To Find Large Files on Linux



Hmm... They're probably better than I am, having things like editors and skill.


Need to keep a tab open for linux-tips.
Generally disk space isn't a problem fortunately. On a disk on my desktop machine I had a 256GB drive that was full. Should upgrade it but just dropped $700 for a Mac Mini, so, not right now!

Edit: Just realized it's your site. No wonder it's so packed with goodness. :-D

In the 2nd linked article, I had a drive filling up and my own behavior made it difficult to spot. The folder was /kgiii/kgiii - so a 'kgiii' directory in my home directory that's named 'kgiii'. My eyeballs glazed over that multiple times, before I decided to get a good graphical depiction of my drive use.
